My Places Notebook

My Places Notebook

My Places Notebook is your PERSONAL note taking app for places you want to remember. You search for the place you want to save, enter some notes about it, add some pictures, and save it LOCALLY into your phone or tablet.

You ate that delicious Italian food at some restaurant but you can't remember its name? You passed by that bar that seemed pretty interesting but no place comes to your mind when you want to go out for a drink? You read about a fancy store in your favorite magazine and you want to mark it as "wanna go"?

*** No hassle with signing up, no need to login, nothing gets published, no bloatware features: Just a simple personal places notebook! ***

You can mark a place as liked, disliked, or wanna go! This way, you can instantly see why you had saved it in the first place.

WHY INSTALL?Surely there are plenty of location based services that offer you to keep track of places you visited. So why bother to install another one? Let's think again: in Google Maps you can save a place, but you can't list all your saved places in you mobile device. Furthermore, any comment that you make about the place gets publicly visible in your Google+ profile. Do you really always want to make every personal experience about any place you visit to become public? Foursquare, Yelp, they all want you to sign up to save places. Even if you sign up, there is no way to take a personal note. In Tripadvisor, you can save a place without logging in, but there is no option to take notes or add your own pictures. When it comes to taking notes, simplicity matters! We still use post-its, right? ;-)

All place listings are retrieved from Google Places API. If the place you want to save isn't listed or some information is incorrect, you should go to Google Maps in your desktop web browser and suggest a new listing.

This is the first version of the app so please send your bug reports or comments to the email address using the link below before posting them in comments.

No login, no cloud; just simple personal notes about places I have been a 4sq user for a long time, I still use it and love the gamification effect. Becoming the mayor of a place, knowing where your pals are hanging around and all the social stuff is fun. However, sometimes you just don't want the world to know what you think about a particular place. You like a bar just because you have a very personal reason, let's say you fell in love with the cute brunette waitress working there every friday evening or you hate it, because the atmosphere reminds you your grondmothers living room. This is the app for that! You write down your personal stuff and it's stored locally on your device. It's very practical and as simple as it gets! Very well done!
